Here are the video highlights of last Thursday night's contest between the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and the University of North Carolina Tar Heels as seen from section 123 of Rutgers Stadium:

OK, so once again the end result wasn't what any of us (except for those dressed in baby blue in section 101) wanted, but you may want to watch San San Te's first two field goals as a Scarlet Knight, or the muzzle flashes of the Rutgers cannon against the night sky, or Mike Teel's first TD pass of 2008, or to see what the Stadium looked like after you left in the 3rd quarter.

I've never been home from work on 9/11 before, so though I've gone to a few memorials on the day, I've never seen the hours-long reading of the names that is on every broadcast network in New York (2,4,5,7,9, & 11) as I write this. The reading of the names just ended and now they're playing taps.All of us in this area have our own stories of where we and our friends and families were seven years ago, but here's a link to a story at Scarlet Knights Newzer about Mike Teel and his father on that day.

It was great to be at the Stadium on Monday afternoon for the game against Fresno State even if the result wasn't what we all wanted and cheered for. The biggest losses from last year's team were the loss of Ray Rice's ability to get those last three yards on the ground, and the loss of Jeremy Ito's leg (but remember Ito's misses in his first game against Michigan State?).Here's the video evidence that the loss had nothing to do with lack of spirit in the stands:

See you all on the eleventh as we face the team in baby blue. I'll be the guy in red in section 123.
